At 34, Morris is an 11-year veteran of the league. He has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and, most recently, the New England Patriots. Morris was cut by the Pats after training camp and has been out of the league since, though he did work out for Kansas City earlier this year.

Dallas made room for Morris on the roster by placing Murray on injured reserve, officially ending an impressive, but all-too-short rookie season for the Oklahoma product. Safety Barry Church, who will likely require shoulder surgery, was placed on the IR as well.
